Natali Del Conte, TeXtra

Natali Del Conte began hosting daily tech news show
TeXtra on Feb. 13, 2007. In December of that year --
just two months after perhaps the most-hyped Web 2.0 deal of all,
when Microsoft bought a 1.6% share in Facebook for $240 million
-- Natali quit TeXtra to join CNET in New York.

After writing for the Oakland Tribune and then Ziff
Davis, Natali got her start in video making guest appearances on
Cranky Geeks. Here's a clip from one of those shows:

Natali's height of fame at TeXtra probably came when the
show put out a reel of her oh-so-adorable goofs:

These days, Natali hosts CNET's Loaded. It's pretty much
the same thing as TeXtra. From time to time, she also
goes on CBS to talk about gadgets. She isn't quite Katie Couric's
replacement --
as some said she should be -- but she's doing OK. Here's a
clip from Loaded.
